Monaco hospital gets region’s first 3D coelio-surgical equipment

Thanks to the generosity of GEMLUC, the Monaco business group united in fighting cancer, which raised €150,000 during its “Euros of Hope” evening on October 13, Princess Grace Hospital has acquired very special coelio-3D surgical equipment.

Presented by Dr Maurice Chazal on Wednesday, December 14, in the presence of CHPG Director Patrick Bini, this state-of-the-art equipment will allow extremely precise surgical operations thanks to three-dimensional imaging and will be used in particular for cancer and gynecological surgery. It is, to date, the only item of 3D coelio-surgical equipment on the Côte d’Azur.

Three-dimensional imaging is suitable for surgical interventions requiring extreme precision and a very good perception of space. It also provides relief viewing and facilitates better eye-hand coordination, as well as enabling surgical procedures under laparoscopy to be performed with even more precision, speed and efficiency.

For the patient, too, the advantages of this advanced technology are multiple, often enabling surgery to be considerably less invasive.

The Prince's Government has chosen Benoîte de Sevelinges, currently Deputy Director of the Princess Grace Hospital Centre, to succeed Patrick Bini as Director of the Princess Grace Hospital Centre.
Patrick Bini claims his pension rights and leaves his hospital duties on June 30, 2018.
Benoite de Sevelinges, a citizen of Monaco, is a graduate of the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Bordeaux, with an option in Business and Organisation Management, and a DESS in Strategy and Business Management in 2005; a course that led her to join the School of Advanced Studies in Public Health of Rennes.
She joined the team at the Princess Grace Hospital Centre in 2009 where she gained the experience to enable her to assume her new responsibilities at the head of this iconic Monaco institution, which serves not just the Principality but a wide local area.

The centre aims to perform 500 surgical procedures a year, to make a massive difference given that between 800 and 1,000 children are born in the country each year with congenital heart disease.
Founded in 2001 in Monaco, the Cuomo Foundation, chaired by Maria Elena Cuomo, works in the fields of education, culture, and the environment.
